Standard Cron vs Quartz Cron
Linux crontab normally uses 5 fields and no seconds field. It runs in the machine or configured cron daemon timezone.
Quartz commonly uses seconds and sometimes year, plus special tokens such as ? for day-of-month/day-of-week ambiguity.
Production rule: store the original expression, the scheduler engine, and the IANA timezone together so daylight saving changes are auditable.
